What does CURRY mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dish of meat, fish, or vegetables cooked in a sauce seasoned with a blend of spices such as turmeric, cumin, and chili.
Curry covers an enormous range of dishes across South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Caribbean cooking, from dry-fried preparations to thin, soupy sauces eaten with rice or bread. The English word does not correspond to a single dish in any one regional cuisine; it was popularized by British colonial cooks who used it as a catch-all term for spiced, sauced dishes from the Indian subcontinent.
